The Hunger Games

I am still mystified that I am even writing about being pregnant, let alone actually experiencing it first hand. I don't think it will feel really real until I feel this nugget make a move.

I'm not much of a journal person, so thought I would document my trials and tribulations through my pregnancy via cyberspace. 

I wrote this mid-week 6...

The best way to describe my current state (and, if I could movie or song title every event in my life...) would be "The Hunger Games".  I am STARVING... ALL. THE. TIME.  Its like I haven't eaten in days.  I have always been a healthy eater both in content and in proportion, but this is ridiculous.  I literally salivate when I haven't eaten in a few hours.  I was never much of a snacker, so my Dr recommended I try eating smaller and more frequent meals, which seems to have helped a little bit, though now I cant wait until snack time.

I am also missing a few staples... Craft Beer Wishes and Cured Meat Dreams... man, I miss salami and a really good, cold, summer ale (and soon to be fall, pumpkin ale).  But, that's the way the cookie crumbles, and I know there are lots of other yummy things I can still enjoy i.e. thank the lord for the pasteurization process.  No cheese for 9 months would have been REALLY rough...
